Getting from "I have an idea!" to "I finished my book!" takes a lot more work than some people think. And a lot more time.
Give yourself space and time to work. Then hire me if you need help.

While I'm not beating bushes, I am open to new projects. Now that the big conference is over and I've decompressed, I feel ready to get some work done!
Calm the negative, write. Write just the first paragraph. Then the next paragraph. Being an author is just the small fact of continued writing. - Wrtr #amwriting #amediting Be #Writing .. #author #writer #authorsky
As a writer writing, your fate is literally in your hands. What you write becomes you. And what you don't sit down to write also becomes you. - Wrtr #amwriting #amediting #Writing #author #writer #authorsky

The secret in writing is, except for a small few, very few of us know exactly what words we are going to write before we write all of them. That's the beauty in writing. The wonder. The fun. And that's also why it's hard. - Wrtr #amwriting #amediting #Writing #author #writer #authorsky
Writing: Stories can shape the way we feel and see the world around us, how we respond and interact with it. - Wrtr #amwriting #amediting #Writing ~ #author #writer ~ #authorsky
Think AI's going to be putting human #editors out of business? I don't see it happening any time soon. Here's why.
Why isn't "mouthe" a word?
We have "breath" and "breathe" -- why not "mouth" and "mouthe"?
These are the important questions I ponder while I edit.
In the month of March I wrote a total of 17790 words of 55789 total words on the year so far plus spent 2 hours 31 minutes revising/editing https://youtu.be/ErN8JDGjrHQ?si=xwPGwVBDvzeSuAEU #amwriting #amediting
Writing books takes longer than some people think. The reason your favorite author is talking about a book they're finishing that doesn't come out until next year is that they are going through edits and setting up promotions.

Don't let a block stop you from writing. Remove something, change something. Rethink something. Go for a walk and get some extra energy. #amwriting #amediting Listen to your heart, it knows the story. - Wrtr #Writing #author #writer #authorsky

I actually hired an editor. Now I’m combing through the changes—weeks of edits on something I spent years on—and riding the same emotional rollercoaster every time:
1. How could they change that?
2. Why did they?
3. Should I change it back?
4. Or… was I unclear, and need to rewrite it myself?
